This place was perfect for me and some friends to just get away! We lovedddd the backyard! We enjoyed conversation by the fire pit and relaxing in the hammock. The beds were fluffy and neat. Overall 10/10
Well appointed bungalow in a cute burrow of Durham. The beds were very comfortable as were the couches. I appreciated the abundance and variety of K-cup pods for the Keurig and other kitchen amenities. The back yard is very spacious and plenty of seating. About 5 minutes from downtown Durham and we enjoyed watching the NCAA games at the sports bar Tobacco Road which also overlooked the Durham Bulls baseball stadium. Host was very responsive and helpful!
The host was extremely helpful, and thoughtful. The house was perfectly clean and well appointed. Very nice place and cozy. We will definitely come back again. This place is definitely a great value and a good launching off point if you want to spend some time in the Raleigh Durham area.

Why they chose this property
Near Downtown Durham and it is considered Downtown Durham. Durham, NC is thriving and has attracted so many. Duke University and Medical Center are attractions. Many food trucks and evening activities are available. You could work remotely at a coffee shop or at home due to high-speed internet. Durham is quiet. The backyard is serene. We recently professionally landscaped the backyard. Yes! Please enjoy our Durham Downtown property. Please take the cushions (behind loveseat) to the seats in the front and enjoy sitting outside. Use the firepit and hammocks too! Thank you.
What makes this property unique
Home away from home. Comfortable home. Downtown Durham, NC. Private asphalt driveway parking for about three cars. You can park in front of the home if you choose. Walking to trails. Jogging. You'll see neighbors jogging, walking their pets, with baby strollers and just living. Many are students in grad school or in med school or simply students or persons living their wonderful life. Durham is a medical and university town. Apple, Google, Amazon and many other companies are/have relocated here. You are welcome to stay if going for an interview. Enjoy! Be comfortable and relaxed!
What I like about the place is it is large and has a great backyard. Can sit in the front also. When I bought the property, there was no gentrification. Today, the personality has changed, and it remains a historical property in East Durham. As a female, I stay and have stayed alone. No one comes to the door or near the house other than the mailman! Pretty safe!
